You guys aren't going to believe this.
On the way to the track my hood flies open smashes the wind shield, broke the cowl, bent the wipers and broke the hood in several places.
I don't know if the wind shield frame is bent.
This really makes for a bad day!!
You guys be very careful on the cold track and please double check you hood is securely latched!!!!

Omg... my heart just sank...

got back from the track, ran a couple of 12.9s @ 113mph

first gear = pedalling the throttle and spinning the tires
seconds gear = getting slippery and playing with the steering

It was cold, and my nitto DRs didn't like it...and I don't even have my 4.56s put in yet!

I'm surprised the track was as good as it was. I had a so-so day but still missed my 10 second pass. I was very consistent at 11.023, 11.032, 11.008 @132.xxx. On my last pass, something happened and the car wouldn't shift out of 1st. I had to coast to the shut-down road and let the car sit. Then it wouldn't go into ANY gear. I pushed the clutch pedal in and nothing. The only way to get the car to move was to put it in 1st, start the car, and let it lunge forward (while still in 1st). Looks like i'll be dropping the tranny.

Sounds like the clutch is toast...any funny noises?

i don't think anyone cares about austins ss wannabe, what i would like to know is he claims it has built 6.0 in it but yet he ran a 14.3 @ 102mph? wtf? does it even have a stall converter for the auto?

that was his first run ever and he was not even on it hard at all and was spining half way down the track since he was on street tiers. and his best time was a 12.91 @107. and no it has a stock converter.
